Interclub Judge: Linda Fury
The youngest ever president of the Kiama Shellharbour Camera Club, Linda has been taking photos for as long as she can remember. She has been using Pentax gear for the last 20 plus years and has been a featured photographer on the Pentax Australia media pages many times.
In 2016 she won an overseas holiday with the Changi Airport People’s traveller competition for one of her photos. A tour around Scotland and the Outer Hebrides for 7 weeks in 2018 saw some of her images featured on the Scottish Tourism media channels, with one of her Scottish images short listed for the Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year competition.
Linda’s photographic style is quite unique, often capturing her subjects from a totally different perspective. She enjoys seeking out amazing landscape locations as well as photographing her beloved Supercars - which allows her to visit many places around the country.
Linda has recently received many acceptances in national and international competitions- notably 2nd place in the Landscape category in the Pakenham National and an honourable mention in the Maitland International Salon of Photography.
